Appraisal and Performance Management

This book provides human resource practitioners and trainers with:

* The materials they need to train managers and job holders to effectively use the organisation's appraisal and performance management system.

* Exercises, demonstrations and simulations which will prepare managers for carrying out an appraisal interview.

The main focus of the training is on core elements such as the assessment of performance, objective setting and review, interview and feedback skills, and assessing and developing potential. However, some specific issues such as equal opportunities, motivation and the evaluation of appraisal training effectiveness are also addressed.

Because of the wide range of performance appraisal practices and policies operated by organisations, the pack adopts a modular approach to training. Trainers can pick those modules relevant to the kind of appraisal system they are dealing with and the amount of training time they have to devote to it.
